Pros: Has barely scratched the surface of his ability and could be one of the real gems in this class after limited time as a collegian. He has a powerful frame and can be his own blocker when he squares his shoulders and runs in a crouched style. Has the burst to the hole to get to the second level and is able to run over tacklers or make them miss, though he is mainly a one cut runner with little shake and bake. Cons: Failed to build off his fine junior performance when he rushed for over 1100 yards, and his leg injury was just part of a very disappointing 2005 season. He was asked to carry a heavy load last fall, but failed to prove durable when given that role. He will have only an average 40 time in the mid- to high-4.5s. As a receiver, he needs strong improvement from both a pass-catching and route-running standpoint and is not ready to be a complete feature back. He has the lateral quickness to get to the corner and turn up field to make nice yardage, though he lacks the separation speed to hit the home run. Numbers: As a senior, he played in only 6 games and rushed for 530 yards on 127 carries for a 4.2 yards-per-carry average and 3 TDs. He also caught 10 passes for 74 yards. At the Combine, he did not work out due to ankle and shoulder problems.Skinny: He is a productive, honest runner when healthy with the ability to become a starting feature back. Excellent second-day pick with the fine upside to start in time and capable of stepping in and filling a few key roles immediately.
